the origin of the phrase. The historical riot act was passed by the British parliament in the reign of George I. 3u 1711. It enacts that felony is committed when twelve or more persons unlawfully, riotously and tumultuouslj' assemble together to the disturbance of the public peace, so to continue together for an hour after being commanded to disperse by the sheriff or under-sheriff or a justice or the mayor of the borough.

In the "reading" of the British riot

act, which is a necessary preliminary (stenographers and is writing many let-

to its being put into operation, it is not customary to recite the whole of the statute, which is rather a long one. but only the following proclamation, which it contains: "Our sovereign lord the king chargeih and commandeth all persons being assembled immediately to disperse themselves and peaceably to depart to their habitations or to their lawful business upon the pains contained in the act made in the first year of King George for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies. God save the king.'" Chicago News.

Liked the Text. Speaking of the letter "h," a writer says: "'Curiously enough, the 'h' Is not dropped north of Yorkshire, and Scotland, with characteristic thriftiness, ttikes the utmost care of it. Ireland is prodigal in emphasizing it, and so far as I know the colonies are also sound on this point. Only England refuses to aspirate. Sometimes her consistent inaccuracy in this matter is amusing enough. "For example, there is a village in the eastern counties which rejoices in the name of Haw. A parishioner was asked what he thought of a strange preacher who bad been holding a service in the village. "'Well,' he said, I liked the gentleman. 'Is tex' was just suited to us folk.' " 'Why, what was his text?" " 'It were a tex' from the Psalms, "Stand in liawe and sin not" it sounded so 'omely loike.' "

An Appropriate Hymn. The worshipers in a certain chapel had some trouble to keep their faces straight a short time ago. During the service some commotion was caused by a gentleman who accidentally ignited a box of wax matches in his pocket and was trying to put them out. while his alarmed neighbors struggled equally hard to help him. The minister, being shortsighted, con Id not make out the reason of the disturbance, and. thinking to diplomatically cover the incident, he Innocently said: "Brethren, there is a little noise going on.

ters. Charles W. Miller has not opened Indianapolis headquarters and will not do so until a few weeks before the state convention. Mr. Miller, who was at Indianapolis yesterday, was asked who will be his manager. "I am prepared," said he, "to give an answer to that question. I will be my own manager." Ex-Governor Durbin was here yesterday and the lookers-on at the gubernatorial game noted with interest that he and several prominent politicians had their heads together. Some of the men with whom he conferred are very earnest in their determination to see him entered in the governorship contest, but whether or not he is listening to their millifluous blandishments can only be surmised, as he will not talk for publication. Ex-United States Marshal Samuel E. Kercheval of this city, who returned yesterday after spending six months with his family at their summer home in Spencer county, said that Watson is strong in the First District.

Although a great crowd of horse thief detectives was in New Castle Monday night some one stole Maurice Goodwin's horse, valued at $300. The animal was tied in a box stall, which was closed and fastened on the outside. Tuesday morning the stall w is empty and there is no indication that the horse got out unaided. The most common belief is that he was stolen. At any rate he's gone and Goodwin ha? been unable to get a trace of him anywhere. The thief probably thought to turn a trick right under'the eyes of the detectives. It was turned all right and the affair created considerable amusement. Goodwin hopes that he'3 mistaken about the theft, but can find r.o other solution, or has been unable to up to this time. The animal is a valuable one and was kept at the Goodwin home, within two squares of the

court house where the National Horse Thief Detective Association was in annual convention.

MOVE BY INDEPENDENTS. CONDITION AT KOKOMO IS g ADE THE BASIS FOR A SUIT THAT WILL HAVE A BEARING ON FUTURE NEGOTIATIONS.

Indianapolis, Oct. 9. A gigantic battle which will sooner or later affect the control of practically every telephone system in Indiana was opened in the superior court here yesterday, when the New Long Distance Telephone Company of Indianapolis filed a suit against the Central Union Telephone company of Indianapolis and the Citizens' Telephone company of Kokomo, in an effort to restore to itself the enjoyment of its former exclusive contract with the Kokomo company. The New company is the independent concern of Indiana. The Central Union is a "Bell" company. The questions that will be raised and decided in this suit involving the Kokomo exchange are questions which have arisen in the past in relation to the business of other exchanges, the Central Union, during the last year or two, having succeeded In invading territory which the management of the New company supposed belonged to that company forever. '"This suit is merely the first gun In a fight between the two big companies," said M. L. Clawson, attorney for the independents, when asked about the suit. "The questions that will be raised in this action apply to several other deals of the future, so the suit has behind' it more than a mere contest for the business which the Citizens' company of Kokomo can throw to one company or the other. The

suit will result In a contest of the right of the New company to make such exclusive contracts as was made with the Kokomo company and all the other important questions which have arisen between the two big telephone companies in the last few months."

How t!.e Arc Light Is Produced Ct tween the Electrodes. Everybody knows that an arc ligl. :.i formed by nusing r.n olfctrie cu: rent to pass between tLe points of tv. carbon rods. On? of these Is callthe positive and the ofh?r the nog:1, tlve electrode, and the current passe from the former to the latter. Part, cles of carbon are carried on from ih Dositlve electrode until Its end be comes cup shaped. To the little cup thus formed th name of crater Is applied, and fron. this crater four-fifths of the light I emitted. The negative electrode doc not become so hot as the other. lie tween the two a little cloud of vapor lzed carbon is formed, rising from th crater, and this vapor gives forth t golden yellow light. But it Is over powered by the light of the crater it self, which has a violet tinge due to th Incandescence of solid particles of car bon. The arc of light extended fron one electrode to the other also has an axis of violet color which is Its most brilliant part. The fact that most of the Jumlnosity comes from the cr.iter explains the reason why the light does not appear equal In all directions. It is brightest from that point of view which shows the largest portion of the crater. An interesting effect is often noticed when flies or other insects flutter about an arc light. Their shadows cast on a neighboring wall appear gigantic. The reason Is that the light of the crater Is concentrated In a point smaller than the bodies of the insects, and the bound aries of the shadows consequently widen with Increase of distance.
